2 new permits need opinions/help

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

UPDATE: I successfully won an auction for a brand new SA 1911 Loaded (PI9132LP). Can't wait for it to get here!

 

 

 

 

I'm just getting into shooting (yes noob). I already have a Springfield XDm 9mm (bitone), and love it.

 

With my 2 new permits I wanted to add some diversity and am thinking about grabbing a .45 and .22!

 

I really want a 1911, and have become partial to the Springfield 1911 "loaded" .45 stainless. I'm having a somewhat difficult time locating one in stock (any help/ sites appreciated).

 

Any suggestions (.22, 9mm, .45) to fill my second permit are also appreciated.

I have a Ruger Mk II, a Buckmark Contour and a Bersa Thunder. All are fun to shoot but the Buckmark shoots all ammo with very few problems. The only downside is it is harder to take apart than the other two. Don't listen to anyone that says the Ruger is hard to put back together. It is hard if you do no have and follow the proper instructions. Good instructions and videos are all over the web.

so so so many 1911s to choose from. choose wisely. there are many 5" than the other shorter barrels.

Springfield gives a lot for your $$$. Nice sights, bull barrels on some...

check out gunbroker and gunsamerica

you don't really have to bid. if there's no offers, just call the phone number up & offer them their minimal bid stated.

try not to nickel and dime them on a few bucks, then they'll get mad or something.

usually there's no return

use your credit card to protect yourself.

credit card orders ship fast...usually

give them your FFL to receive delivery.

ask for a tracking delivery number.

buy from a FFL. you can also confirm they are a FFL on gunbroker.

good luck

just my two cents-I was in my not so local gunshop the other day and spotted a nicely used but not abused colt frontier scout,.22lr,SA revolver in the showcase. It has the 4.75(?) inch barrel. My point is that there are a lot of nice used guns out there waiting to be found. It was only $275-for a Colt ! It will shoot any .22 you care to put in it.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
